20th Century Fox is going behind the scenes on director Gareth Edwards' The Creator in a new featurette.
"My favorite cinema is very visually driven. It's not like a play, it's like a dream, it's just a pure emotion. This film is a melting pot of movies I grew up loving. It's a Vietnam movie, mixed with robotics and sci-fi," said Edwards.
John David Washington adds, "Gareth has this ability to inject compassion in a sci-fi genre that usually leans on spectacle and danger."
The film is Edwards' follow-up to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, a film that many in the sci-fi genre view as the best new Star Wars film since Episode VI.
Edwards is a renowned director known for his distinctive visual aesthetic and capacity for thrilling tension. He is a rising star in the sci-fi genre, and has developed a strong fan following around the world that will surely turn out to view the sci-fi thriller in cinemas.
Additionally, the release of Gareth Edwards' movie couldn't be more timely given the ongoing global debate about artificial intelligence and how it should be governed.
The Creator arrives in theaters and IMAX on September 29. You can also check out a new poster for the film below.
The cast includes John David Washington as Caleb, Gemma Chan as Ava, Ken Watanabe as Professor Seki, Sturgill Simpson as The Musician, Madeleine Yuna Voyles as Young Ava, and Allison Janney as Dr. Ellen Shaw.
Amid a future war between the human race and the forces of artificial intelligence, Joshua, a hardened ex-special forces agent grieving the disappearance of his wife, is recruited to hunt down and kill the Creator, the elusive architect of advanced AI who has developed a mysterious weapon with the power to end the war—and mankind itself.
